Special Jerusalem-based version of popular board game Monopoly arrives as city prepares to celebrate 50 years since reunification.
Jerusalem has been fought over for millennia, and continues to be to this day. The struggles have often turned violent, as the city has been battled over by many civilizations, including the Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, and Ottomans. Through it all, the Jewish people have never forgotten their connection to Jerusalem.
Now families can play for control of the holy city from the comfort of their living rooms.
Kodkod, which produces Monopoly games in Israel, has announced that it is creating a special Jerusalem-based version of the popular board game. Instead of vying for the deeds to Park Place or Boardwalk, players will vie for the deeds to the Western Wall, the City of David, the Mahane Yehuda Market, and even the Knesset.
Eli Dagani, the CEO of Kodkod, said: "This is the first time there's going to be a Monopoly game dedicated entirely to one city in Israel, and we want it to reflect the spirit of Jerusalem."
He said that there has been a high demand for a special Jerusalem-based version of Monopoly, especially from tourists to Jerusalem.

One of the game tokens would HAVE to be a feral cat.
Or maybe ALL of them!

And soon enough, the USA will be in JerUSAlem when the embassy is moved.
“Jerusalem Monopoly” - ha, gotta love that concept.
Once, while I was in Jerusalem, a tourist asked me for directions to the American Embassy.
They got an earful from me. That was in 1984, so this has been an issue with me for a LONG time.
Trump wants our Embassy in Jerusalem.
Yes he does. He is the first person who has had the moral courage to address this issue as POTUS.
I was originally going to vote for him BECAUSE he was the nominee, but it has been things like this that made me an ENTHUSIASTIC supporter>
It had to wait until DJT. Check the details, it was law #45 that became law on November 8:

The USA within JerUSAlem will become a fact of geography. It is the USA that is within the name Jerusalem, not some other place.
Am echad lev echad, kol Israel achim.
Many more details to match in amazing ways. Purim x 1000.
I hope they have a square for Karen Kayemet.
Law #45?
Why am I NOT surprised? LOL!
Which US embassy will be attacked when the muzzy outrage over this game goes critical?
Very cool.
The level of detail is amazing.
People read through the Bible and see names, dates, places, weights, amounts, and other seemingly trivial data points added in here and there. Looks kind of excessive, but as you can see... :)
Sometimes they will notice the REALLY obvious correlations...like Solomon’s annual TAX Revenue (hint, it’s the Number of the Beast!)

It’s where you those things that seem trivial and you want to ask God why he put them there that you must dig cause there is hidden treasure there to be found (like the gospel hidden in the names in Genesis)
It’s an adventure to find to find the hidden treasure :)
Good point about the cats . The dog token will most likely be a cat
Taxation tied to the number of the beast. Who would think? ;-)
I was so surprised by “The cats of Jerusalem” that I wrote a song about it!

I still have your album with the cat song :)
:-)
I still sing that song in public. People seem to like it!
(I also do “The Mother Road (not on the album), “Dunes”, and “Poison Pen”.
But “Jerusalem” is the most popular of my originals.
Rev 14
1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
Now he could have just written musicians playing harps, but no. There's a weird redundancy. Gotta be a reason! :)
